Android: Widgets are one of our favorite tools on Android, but you can only really access them from your home screen. If you'd like to control music while you navigate or control tethering from your browser, Widgets Anywhere can put those widgets on top of all your other apps.

Widgets Anywhere essentially takes any widget you want and makes it "always on top", so you see it no matter what app you're in. That way you can access that widget without having to go back to the home screen. You can resize them so they don't waste screen space, make them transparent, and (if you're on Jelly Bean) even bring them up and dismiss them with a simple gesture.

Widgets Anywhere is great if you want to keep a widget on screen, like if you're navigating and want easy access to your music controls. If you want more temporary quick access to your widgets from any screen, check out previously mentionedPower Strip instead.
